Well, the New Madrid Fault has a periodicity of around ~200 years, and the Yellowstone Caldera has a periodicity of around 600,000 years. So it's probably more likely we will see the New Madrid Fault go active fairly soon, maybe this or next year, while Yellowstone could be anytime this century or next century.
These things are difficult to predict, but they do have histories of cycles such that we can estimate the periodicity of them.

Damn. Incredibly insightful. Thx for sharing your knowledge u/TNBanjoMan/. I didn't know any of this.
